Overpowering Yellow Wind Mountain!
A demonic Yao Qi suddenly rose from the mountainside.
"Pei Xuance, do you truly intend to fight Yellow Wind Mountain to the death?"
A Core Illumination Demon King with Bone Spikes growing on its back stood in front of the cave, its gray-white Core Illumination Light rapidly spreading around it.
The mountain rocks trembled, and boulders rolled down from the cliff face, blocking the mountain path ahead.
It did not approach rashly, but stood facing Pei Xuance through the collapsed rocks.
Pei Xuance glanced at it.
"Let Yellow Wind come out."
"Lord Yellow Wind is currently in seclusion. If you need anything..."
Pei Xuance had already crossed the falling rocks.
The Bone Spikes Demon King's pupils shrank suddenly. He hadn't expected that the demon wouldn't even listen to a single word. The Bone Spikes on his back suddenly stood up, and several gray-white sharp beams shot out into the air.
Pei Xuance dodged the two oncoming attacks to the side, raised his hand to shake off the third, but did not stop for even half a step.
The two Core Illumination collided.
The grayish -Core Illumination Light suddenly collapsed inward, causing the Bone Spikes Demon King to feel a tightness in his chest. His body was forced backward, and the rocks beneath his feet shattered inch by inch.
Its expression finally changed, and it turned to retreat back into its cave.
Pei Xuance caught up in one step, grabbed its nape with his five fingers, swung its entire body up, and slammed it hard against the cave entrance.
The stone gate collapsed.
Blood gushed from the Bone Spikes Demon King's mouth and nose. Just as it was about to unleash its Demon Power, Pei Xuance's palm pressed into its back, and its struggle abruptly ceased.
Pei Xuance threw the body down the stone steps and continued up the mountain.
The higher you go, the fewer monsters there are.
The demon soldiers who had previously tried to form an array to block them now only dared to hide in the forest.
Wherever Core Illumination reached, the presence hidden behind rocks, in trees, and in caves was nowhere to be concealed.
As Pei Xuance walked along, the earthen -Core Illumination Light crushed everything in his path, and screams echoed all the way to the mountain peak.
The second Demon King, who was left to guard the cave, had just left when he saw the demon corpse that had rolled down in front of the door.
Its expression changed drastically. Without even taking its weapon, it turned around, smashed through the side wall, and prepared to escape from behind the mountain.
The Core Illumination Light suddenly closed in from behind.
It barely managed to turn around and take the blow, its massive body instantly flying backward and crashing into the mountainside.
When Pei Xuance caught up with it, it was still struggling to shrink into the crevice in the rock.
Where is Yellow Wind?
The Demon King opened his mouth, but instead spat out a mouthful of blood.
Pei Xuance frowned slightly.
A moment later, another corpse appeared at the foot of the cliff.
He stopped in his tracks and looked up at the mountain peak.
The yellow mist still shrouded the cave, without roaring, without Yao Qi soaring into the sky, and without that familiar Yellow Wind carrying sand and dust.
The coldness in Pei Xuance's eyes gradually subsided.
Something's not right.
Even if the Yellow Wind Demon King has not yet recovered, he should not be allowed to slaughter his minions in the mountains like this, unless the other party is preparing some kind of scheme, or is not even on the mountain at all.
He stopped walking slowly along the mountain path and suddenly sped up, heading straight for the summit.
Before the last cave, the three-headed Demon King had retreated to the stone gate.
Hearing the sounds below gradually extinguish, their faces had already lost all color. When they saw Pei Xuance step onto the last stone step, one of the ram-headed Demon King immediately raised its hand.
"General Pei, let's talk this out!"
Pei Xuance glanced at the cave entrance.
The cave was empty, devoid of any trace of the Yellow Wind Demon King.
The three Demon King exchanged glances upon seeing his gaze. One of them suddenly darted to the side, intending to use the other two demons to block Pei Xuance while he escaped down the mountain alone.
The Core Illumination Light crashed down.
Its body had just been lifted into the air when it was pressed back to the ground, its chest and abdomen sinking deep into the rubble.
The other two Demon King trembled and dared not move again.
Pei Xuance walked closer.
Where did Yellow Wind go?
The ram-headed Demon King's throat bobbed, and he dared not answer immediately.
Pei Xuance looked at it, his tone calm. "Think carefully before I ask a second time."
The ram-headed Demon King hurriedly cried out, "Let's go, let's go!"
Pei Xuance's gaze sharpened.
"When?"
"They left today! They just left today!" the Deer-Headed Demon King exclaimed urgently. "They only told us to guard the cave and said they'd be back in a few days."
"General Pei, we truly have no idea where it went!"
I left today.
I'll be back in a few days.
Pei Xuance looked at the empty cave in front of him, and his face darkened completely.
The old weasel had just received the Longevity-Extending Treasure Lotus and its vitality was not yet fully restored; it should have stayed in the cave.
Now that the outer Demon King have suffered successive losses, and he himself is guarding outside the mountain, it has quietly left the mountain at this time.
Where else can we go?
Lotus Flower Temple!
Xuan Zhen!
Two names surfaced in his mind, Pei Xuance clenched his fist.
No wonder Yellow Wind Mountain has remained silent.
He kept an eye on the movements in the mountains, but the other party had already left to fetch the Dao Infant behind him.
Seeing the change in his expression, the snake-headed Demon King's heart tightened, and he quickly said:
"General Pei, we've said everything we needed to say..."
Pei Xuance raised his hand.
Core Illumination Light pressed the two demons down heavily, and a heavy spear swept across, sending their heads flying. His voice abruptly stopped.
He didn't look at the demon corpse on the ground again, turned around and leaped down the mountain peak.
The yellow mist behind him was torn apart by the wind, the red cloak flashed, and he quickly disappeared at the end of the mountain path.
We must return to Qingzhou immediately.
If Xuan Zhen truly leaves the temple, then Qin Lie is currently the only one in Qingzhou who can stand against him head-on.
Pei Xuance traveled swiftly, his mind already going over the precious medicine needed to awaken Qin Lie, as well as the Demon Suppression General still stationed in various prefectures.
Those medications that we've been using sparingly can no longer be used sparingly.
After leaving the border camp, the Demon Horse carried Yang Xiao into the shadows of the mountains, heading southeast.
The sandstorm was gradually left behind, the mountains rose and fell, and the vegetation gradually grew denser.
Yang Xiao found a secluded mountain hollow and slowly stopped.
He left the Demon Horse at the mouth of the valley and walked alone to the bottom of the valley to sit down in front of a Bluestone.
First, take out all the spoils from this trip, which include three Demon Core: the Golden-Mane Boar, the Lady Musk, and the Flame-Tailed Lion King.
The three Demon Core differed in size and color, and each emitted a different aura.
The crimson gold one was the smallest, and its aura was also the weakest in comparison.
The crimson one was the most substantial, with flames still flickering inside, and wisps of violent energy emanating from it, making the palm of one's hand burn.
The remaining pure Demon Core was much smaller than the other two, and its body faintly carried a sweet and sticky aura.
Yang Xiao's gaze swept across the Bluestone.
With a thought, he opened the Equipment Slot and immediately loaded the equipment into the first three empty slots.
[Core Illumination Realm - Golden-Mane Boar Demon Core (One-time use)]
[Effect 1: Replenishes a massive amount of demonic energy.]
[Effect 2: Obtain the blue affix Golden Thorn: Draws upon golden energy to condense a spear that can penetrate ordinary armor and ignore some physical defense.]
The writing settled, Demon Core shattered in the slot.
A rich surge of demonic energy flowed out, coursing through the meridians and into the Mystic Core like a stream of molten gold, settling layer by layer.
Yang Xiao sat quietly, waiting for the demonic energy to settle.
After those two lines of text flashed in my mind, there was no further explanation.
He waited a few breaths, but the Ten-Thousand-Forged Demon Body remained completely still.
I understand.
The physical body has already reached the Core Illumination Perfected Stage; the next step is the next major realm.
The Demon Core in the Core Illumination Realm can no longer be fed.
A moment later, the aura of the Mystic Core settled down, becoming even thicker than before, taking another step closer to the late stage of the Core Illumination Realm.
